Gangs and knife crime through young people's eyes - in pictures

Young people in London have been exploring their experience of gangs and knife crime through photographs, working with east-London based charity

Choices in Life: When you are young, you are expected to feel on top of the world, but sometimes there is a time in life that makes you feel like you're no one. There is no one to talk to about your problems, what you're going through, what's on your mind.That gets to you and makes you feel like you should put an end to all, or you stop caring about the consequences of mixing with a bad crowd.
